World of Warcraft is pretty popular. So much so, in fact, that Blizzard could probably slap its painfully recognizable logo on an empty box and still have The Sims spewing furious, unintelligible curses over their relinquished seat at the top of the sales charts. But Blizzard would never do that to you. Instead, the mighty blue giant is cramming Warcraft-branded boxes with Wrath -- an ethereal substance that, admittedly, is still a fairly hard sell.

Don't worry, though; for those of you who feel deserving of an actual reward for you unbridled -- and somewhat perplexing -- devotion, Blizzard is also
releasing
a Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition. Within its confines, you'll find the following:

The Art of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, a 208-page book featuring never-before-seen images from the game.

An exclusive in-game pet: Frosty, the baby frost wyrm.

A behind-the-scenes DVD containing over an hour of developer interviews, the Wrath of the Lich King intro cinematic with director’s commentary, and more.

The official soundtrack CD, containing 21 epic tracks from the game, along with exclusive bonus tracks.

A mouse pad featuring a map of the newly opened continent of Northrend.

Two World of Warcraft Trading Card Game March of the Legion™ starter decks, along with two exclusive cards available only in the Collector’s Edition.

This "expansion," as Blizzard is calling it, hits shelves on November 13. Frankly, though, we just can't understand the appeal. Oh well.
